Oscar nominations 2024: All the snubs, surprises, and history-making LGBTQ+ nods
another great year for LGBTQ+ film, but did that pan out in the nominations for the 96th annual Academy Awards? Well… yes and no!While the Oscars once again neglected to nominate some our most accomplished queer filmmakers (Todd Haynes and Andrew Haigh deserve better!), there are a number of features recognized that include major LGBTQ+ characters and performers, so that’s a win.
And, of course, the big story of the morning is that the Academy has nominated not one but two out actors—Colman Domingo in Rustin and Jodie Foster in Nyad—for playing queer roles.
Believe it or not, this is only the second and third time this has ever happened in the Oscars’ 96-year history, so this is no small accomplishment, and we feel so immensely proud for our community to be recognized in this way.Subscribe to our daily newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.Still there’s plenty more to be excited—and rant—about—after this morning’s Oscar nomination announcement, co-hosted by Atlanta‘s Zazie Beetz and The Boys‘ Jack Quaid.Below, we’ve got a round-up of the nominees in the major categories—as well as some hot takes on who (and who didn’t) make the cut.
